We commit to taking action towards reconciliation by:

  • Ensuring that Indigenous peoples have equitable access to jobs, training, and education opportunities at ORPC Canada.
  • Supporting ongoing education and training of owners and staff in the history and culture of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
  • Ensuring that non-Indigenous partners undertake proper and respectful consultation with First Nations in the course of project development.
  • Working to optimize First Nations’ project training and employment opportunities, and to develop human resources capacity for First Nations communities.
  • Respectfully engaging with non-Indigenous Canadians to encourage them to learn about and participate in reconciliation.
